Bernie Sanders to speak at U of T

“In a letter dated Oct. 21, 27 signers, including state Rep. Marjorie Decker, D-Cambridge, and former state representative and mayor Alice Wolf, argued that a majority of the other 20 candidates are equally, if not more, progressive than the ones endorsed by the local branch.

“If ... you rely on the local Our Revolution organization to nominate candidates for endorsement, you lose control of the process they use and expose yourself to the risk that the local organization will nominate candidates based on their agenda and not yours,” read the letter.

“Intervening in the Cambridge City Council race is a counterproductive choice and divides, rather than unites, progressives here,” the letter continued”
